The Program "Sem' shagov" (Seven steps) is a unique system of the improvement of the investment and enterprising climate in the municipalities of the Tyumen region.

The program embraces training of the teams working in our territories, rating of the municipalities themselves and our default agreement: the head of the administration which is the last in the rating has to resign. The leader receives a bonus.

Step 1. Creation of a system of communication. Any investor interacts with the subdivisions of the federal bodies of authorities, regional government, municipal administrations, resource supplying organizations and development institutions. Realising this, we concluded an agreement establishing an algorithm for the interaction of all these units and a most favorable mode for any project realized in the region. To make the document as clear as possible, we enclosed a complete register of the investment projects. Any party of the agreement has an easy access to this information and can see all the problems they have to solve.

Step 2. We handed to all the municipalities indicators of economy growth as their development benchmarks. The indicators are based on those defined by the President's decree for the heads of the administrative units.

Step 3. We introduced a system of rating and monitoring of the activity of the municipalities. At year-end, the body of the statistical indicators, data from the register of the investment projects stating the number and types of projects in each separate territory and the opinion of experts representing the given sphere of business form the basis of the municipalities rating.

Step 4. Stimuli and antistimuli. To stimulate the heads of administrations and their teams depending on their performance in the rating, we deveoped a bonus system. Only those ranking the first ten can receive a bonus payment. In the same manner we distribute the budget for further development.

Step 5. The heads of the municipalities received a set of the best practices from the other regions and municipalities for direct application in the form of a ready-to-use municipal standard comprising 13 paragraphs. Quarterly, the heads, from this year on also their deputies in charge of the economic development, take regular training courses.

Step 6. Development of a project extended support system. Thus, any investor is entitled to use the full package of services rendered by the government and municipalities. This package includes allocation of plots of land (without a bidding process), tax privileges, field subsidies and investment loans with 7% interest rate. Such appproach can ensure the further industrial and economic growth in the existing extremely challenging conditions.

Step 7. Advocating planning for everyone we started with ourselves. Long ago, the regional government developed field strategies with the specific plans providing realization of the specific investment projects linked with municipal sites. Later we oriented our system of state support to these projects. Last year we devised separate plans for the development of each municipality in which the key projects for each specific territory were included. To each project we assigned a project team consisting of responsible persons from the municipalities and regional government.

We are open for cooperation, welcome constructive proposals and new projects, and are always ready to facilitate their implementation. For this purpose we are reviving the spirit of enterprise. I am convinced of the necessity to support and encourage business initiatives - this is the prerequisite of successful economic and social development of any territory.
Time itself encourages us to begin action and opens up new prospects and opportunities. We value fresh ideas and interesting projects. Set ambitious goals and achieve high results.
Let success attend you and your business! I am always glad to see you on Tyumen soil.

Looking forward to a fruitful cooperation,
Governor of the Tyumen region, Vladimir Yakushev

Tyumen was founded not by Ermak as many think but by voivodes Vassiliy Sukin and Ivan Myasnoy. Their aim was to fulfill the decree of the Tzar Fedor Ivanovich and establish a strategic point for the exploration of the eastern territories of Russia. The military post in Tyumen was the largest in Siberia and the most multinational.

Pokrovskoye settlement, which is 80 km away from the regional center, is the birthplace of the most famous Russian in the world - Grigory Rasputin. In 1991, historian Marina Smirnova founded the first Russian private museum in Pokrovskoye. On weekends she personally guides tours there.

In the 1960s, large deposits of "black gold" were discovered several hundreds kilometers away from Tyumen in the north of the region. In a short period of time Tyumen transformed into an administrative center managing the whole oil production complex.

In 1959, Tyumen had a population of 150,000 residents. Nowadays, it is about 1 464.2 thousand people, which means the city population has grown ten times in the span of 57 years.

The most famous chemist in the world, Dmitri Mendeleev, was born in the Tyumen region in Tobolsk city (240 km north of Tyumen) in 1834.

A student of the Tyumen State Oil and Gas University Ksenia Sukhinova won the title Miss World 2008.
